answer in the first debate where romney just -- he was ahumanpowerpoint. heticked off the five things that he would want to do if he won the job. to me, that's what this whole deal is. it's just a glorified job interview. i thought that was mitt romney's best moment when ticked off, this is exactly what i'll do for you, as if he had a powerpoint presentation to the voter zls what w. >> what was the president's best moment, ari? >> the president's best moment was when he fired up that indignation about, we don't do that for political purposes, in talking about the handling of the president's actions in benghazi. i don't know that it was convincing for republicans or independents but it helped him with the democratic base. >> he showed how angry he was by saying the words romney was using was offensive. that word was a powerful moment indeed. we have much more of our "strategy session" coming up, including new polls just out today from the critical battleground state of ohio. this race for the white house couldn't be any tighter there. but i'm still stubbed up.

withthepowerpointtodidnotthepowerpoint. bereally wonky, kind of the guy in the numbers in the weeds. and instead, ryan tried so hard that at times it was awkward to be the guy who has the friend and that the person that knows the person, when in the clip is that it's not getting social security. he talked about his friend in janesville. biden seemed ready to go after him on the numbers. so is a role reversal. biden spent a lot of numbers and statistics and ryan spent a lot of time talking about people. >> biden spoken the camera into the american people and seemed most comfortable doing that. i thought ryan seemed a little stiff in the beginning and loosened up as the debate went on. you could tell a little bit him is his first national debate. >> we have heard a lot about ryan's wackiness and how much he knows. but as you think he knew a lot on this or that he was reaching deep to find things? i couldn't quite get a handle on it. >> we talked about the foreign policy. there was a lot of times three was rattling off information about syria, libya, afghanistan, iran, where he claimed

of the election 2012. and i think he'll have a veryinterestingpowerpointpresentationto make to us. to my immediate left is amy davidson, senior editor at the new yorker. she's been at the magazine since 1995, writes a blog and contributes to the magazine's pages. next is anna sale who's a political reporter for wnyc radio politics site, it's a free country.org. she covered the gop primaries, my condolences -- [laughter] and focuses on swing states far away from political rallies. sounds like a much better assignment. [laughter] she appears on the takeaway and contributed to npr, bbc, wgvh, new york 1 and pbs. next to her is greg marx who's a staff writer for the columbia journalism review, co-editor of cjr's swing state project. he was a writer for remapping debate.org, and if you've seen his writings, which i have fold over the last few week -- followed over the last few weeks, he's doing some the most interesting commentary on how the campaign is being conducted. and then finally, my old colleague at newsday, ellis henican all the way on the left there -- appropriately. [laughter] a po

thispowerpointpresentation.but i would like to turn to my colleagues for discussion about what all this means and where are we today now two weeks out from november 6. let me start with, both of you, the latino vote, we talked about it being decisive and impactful. we are now two weeks out and both campaigns have been engaging efforts to reach latinos particularly in targeted states and the race is tightening. let's talk first about florida because that is one state that has been pivotal in the past three presidential election cycles where the hispanic vote has made the difference. ana in your state how are things looking state-wide? >> they're looking a little different than they were four years ago. before we start talking about florida, you said we had to hispanics running for u.s. senate and we can't forget bob menendez. that makes it three or as i call him my democratic -- so he is also in the race and we hope he wins in new jersey. florida, florida has become more diverse within the hispanic community. we have seen an increasing number of colombians become citizens and become active pol

could take outthesepowerpointpresentationsand deliver them for an hour before voters in some small town in wisconsin and instead this was very much a debate that is going to be discussed on issues of style and that clip you showed really demonstrates that. those are substantive issues. they were trying to discuss. and look at biden interrupting paul ryan with humor, making a joke, of course, about jack kennedy. of course, many of the romney campaign advisers are saying they think ryan did well, they're talking about biden as nancy said being over the top but i think i spoke with one who i think really nailed it. he says he believes biden may have helped the president with his base. and i said that really was an important thing for him to do right after what the president did last week because many of his supporters were kind of demoralized after that performance and he said it was. but what about the independents. what about the undecides. they may well be turned off by some of the things we saw from the vice president tonight. we can see paul ryan holding his own on the stage, but

to question and answer pretty quickly. thank you. >> i haveapowerpoint. canyou see the screen? okay. that's great. thank you for the kind introduction, and i am honored to speak to you today. i recall that i was here twice over the past ten years. once was on the eve of the 16th, the other five years ago on the eve of the 17th. each time i learn a great deal on the chinese leadership and rebalanced, you know, the exchange of ideas and colleagues at the heritage foundation. now, in my ten to 15 minute presentation that does not work -- okay. for some reason it's very, very slow. yeah, i will address three basic questions. first, who are the main candidates or competitors for the new standing committee and what is the likely composition and to the balance of power? certainly who are the main competitors for the new commission military leadership? what are the major issues regarding this change in military leadership? and finally, i will talk about how the upcoming generation of the top ministry officers affect the relationships and interactions with the civilian counterparts. now the first

that are wrong. he can just go over it verbatim, just boom, boom, boom,boom,powerpointpresentation.but, you know what? that's not leadership you can trust. and, florida, you know me. [applause] whatan trust that i say i mean, and i mean what i say. and, yes, we've been through tough times, but you've never seen me quit. and there is no quit in americans. over the last week of two years, we have been making real progress, -- over the last four years, we have been making real progress. our businesses have added more than 5 million new jobs over the past four years. unemployment has fallen to the lowest rate since i took office. home values are rising. the stock market has nearly doubled. assembly lines are getting back to work. our heroes are coming ron kirk. -- are coming home. [cheers and applause] i promised to cut taxes for middle-class families and i did, by $3,600. i promised to cut taxes for small business owners like scott, and we have, 18 times. i promised we would fix the financial situation that was broken when i came in the office. we got at every single dime, with interest, that
